The best thing about Bright Young Things is the brilliant and fun atmosphere that's created. Writer/ Director Stephen Fry has established himself as a brilliant talent. His camera work and acting direction sets a perfect stage to seeing London in the 30's.
The movie is adapted from the novel "Viles Bodies" that tells the story of a writer who reports the celebrity gossip to the local newspaper. The movie is filled with sex, scandal, and celebrity. The film brings London to life and makes you wish you were a part of this elite circle even from the opening credits. Unlike many movies, this movie's flaws will start you in the face while you watch them. The story doesn't fit together perfectly, which is usually the case when adapting classic literature. But in the end, I'm not sure you'll mind it. It's too gitty to focus on things like that.
The film has two unforgettable attributes which I won't go into depth about or spoil. Just look for Stockard Channing.
